In our latest Talk Around Town video, we caught up with Senior Engineer David Vong to talk about the West TX Complete Streets Project — a major effort to make this busy corridor safer, more walkable, and better for everyone who uses it.

The project will reduce traffic lanes to help slow speeds, add protected bike lanes, and create new bus turnouts so buses don’t block traffic. It’ll also bring in shaded walkways and fresh landscaping to make the street more comfortable and inviting.

This is an $11 million project, with nearly all the funding coming from state and regional sources — a huge win for Fairfield. Construction kicks off soon and will take about a year to complete.

Watch the full video to learn what’s coming, how it’ll impact traffic, and why it’ll make a big difference in the way we move around the city.
